This year's symposium will take place Thursday 19 September at Northumbria University. They're inviting session submissions for a range of formats, around a diverse range of themes, from evaluation through to reaching under-represented audiences.
Do you have an idea for a session at Interact? Is it an interactive workshop where participants can get a flavour of your engagement project? Or do you want to have a round table exploring a challenge around doing engagement in the physical sciences? Do you want to share some reflections and learning from an engagement activity in a short talk? We’d love to hear from you!
Interact aims to support and enable the physical sciences community to carry out impactful research linked engagement with audiences otherwise not provided with opportunities to access the sciences.
